Also we think that these countries got overpopulated from the 1990s and upwards because at that time there was a huge population rush of people we think and also it seemed an appropiate time for overpopulation, mostly all from China, Japan, India etc.
Application:
What are the causes of overpopulation?
Henry:The first cause of overpopulation is poverty. Poverty affects overpopulation because there is more people living in poverty in countries like China, India, Africa etc. Also another cause is that the people living in every country. For example, in the U.S.A and China there is like more than 5million people living there, while in other countries like New Zealand there is only like 10 million people there, including me.
Max:I think the cause of overpopulation is caused by people having to many children, for example China they have a 1 child policy because their country is overpopulated with 1.4 billion people. India has over 1.1 billion people living there, and Brazil has over 200 million people. New Zealand is heading in to overpopulation from 4 million people to 5 million people.
Analysis:
What are some of the problems in overpopulation?
Henry:I think that some problems of overpopulation are that firstly, the amount of people living on the streets in China, India etc. Secondly, our natural resoruces for lands, food, water etc.
Max:Overpopulation causes starvation causing the country run out of food for its citizens. Countries can also run out of space for people to live in, this causes people to live on the streets and lose all their money and causes the poverty.
Synthesis:
Make a slide show on what overpopulation is doing to the world and how it came about?
Both of us: We are going to make a slideshow on Why overpopulation is a bad thing and what we can do to slow it down.
Evaluation:
Was our slide show we made informative and persuasive about our topic and how we can improve it?
Both of us: Me and Max think that the slideshow we made was informative and persuasive because it was packed with information.
Other questions:
1.Is every country affected with overpopulation?
No, but 90% of the world is affected with overpopulation because some countries take more space on the world than other countries like China takes over 35% and India only takes up like 17%.
2.Is overpopulation a crime of any sort?
We think that it would be a crime because in China it isn't allowed to have more than one child they could arrest you.
3.How is overpoulation affecting our lives?
It is affecting peoples lives by too much resource using, and also how there are lots of beggars etc. Also the amount of people being born right now.
Knowledge:
Is the Earth overpopulated now?
Henry: I think the earth is overpopulated right now because of the people living in poverty and how there are babies born everyday or so...
Max: I think the earth is nearly overpopulated because there is a lot of space in the world, the human race is multiplying by the minute also.
